Chapter 59 [New Goals]

When Ye Feng returned home at night, Gabriella muted the TV and said lightly: "Congratulations! Sign such a big advertising contract with Adidas."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "What's amazing is the identity of a Chinese. I'm still far from football skills. I'm going to notify Neil and the others and celebrate with the party. You can go wherever you want."

Gabriella was silent for a while, licked her lips and asked, "Ye, you are so rich now, are you... going to move out?"

After signing a huge contract with Adidas, Ye Feng also faced a problem: Do you want to move? He is a living condition of eating alone and not hungry. He doesn’t know how to spend so much money. He can buy a good house with 1 million in Los Angeles. Now the housing prices are still falling, so it’s too shabby to continue renting an apartment.

Live a villa alone? Or hire a servant butler to live a so-called rich life? In that way, you will become a otakus except playing basketball. Ye Feng knew that it was not the life he wanted, and living with Gabriella was quite warm. He smiled and said, "No, I don't want to move away. If you have money but don't buy a big house, would you think I'm weird?"

"No wonder, it's great, I don't want you to move away." Gabriella's face changed slightly and she waved her hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that. It's just that I don't have many friends in the United States. Neil is my brother and I don't like his classmates very much... That... I didn't say I like you... I just think you're good... Oh, I'll stop talking."

Gabriella leaned on the sofa with her hands covering her face.

Ye Feng laughed loudly, sat beside her and said, "You don't have to feel embarrassed, I can understand what you mean."

Gabriella sat up and said lightly, "Do you really understand?"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "You mean, you don't want me to move out because I am a good person and a great roommate. That's right? We all come from abroad and have few friends here. There are not so many trivial matters. We like to live a life, chat and watch movies together, and we can get along well. But this is not love. You are afraid that I will misunderstand, right?"

Gabriella looked at him and nodded, "That's what I mean. I'm so stupid, you can understand it. It's also... You have a girlfriend, and you don't feel anything about me at all, so you won't have any illusions."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "You are very charming, but we have been in the 'friend zone' for too long, so I won't think too much."

In fact, he wouldn't think too much, because he was too old and had already passed the stage of blindly pursuing love.

In his previous life, he naively thought that as long as he devoted himself to his whole body, he could move a person, but in the end he found that what he touched was himself. Drinking full water was just a dream of **, and life could not leave bread. He also persistently thought that as long as he walked forward desperately, the road would continue to extend, but the result was that his heart had come to an end early and became a muddy man. In the end, he realized that falling in love with someone, losing someone, luck, and unlucky are just a small process in his life. For him, love became the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. The only thing he could pick up and put was the chopsticks, and the only thing he could not get into and out was the bed.

In this life, he has a good face and can play basketball well, but his personality has not changed much from his previous life. In the past, he was just a miser who could not get any rewards even if he did his best. Now, people in Los Angeles know that he has a girlfriend, but after the game, there are still beauties stuffing notes into his hand and leaving their phone number. He can't help but wonder, is the most important thing about the beauty of the soul? Do those beauties like his inner self or his skin? Or everything he has for playing basketball...

He is not an animal that thinks with his lower body, and he will not fall in love with someone easily, even if the other person is a big beauty.

In Ye Feng's view, men without women are still men, while men without strength are like molluscs. Men must make themselves stronger, and this is the key.

Gabriella asked again: "Will Ellie live here when you have money?"

"I don't think she will say anything." Ye Feng smiled and thought to himself that if he and Alier were really lovers, it would be strange if Alier was not angry.

After the training the next day, Ye Feng asked Alier to have lunch at a luxury restaurant.

When Ellie saw him, she asked, "The agent I introduced to you has helped you make so much money. How do you plan to thank me?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "When I join the Clippers in the future, I will sign a long contract with a low salary. How about helping the Stirling family create a Clippers dynasty?"

Alile smiled, obviously not believing. She was optimistic about Ye Feng's future, but she didn't think he could be strong enough to lead the team to win the championship. "Can you help me establish the Clippers dynasty? Is it too confident? Let me tell you the truth, my real estate business and the securities market have lost a lot of money this year. My father will not spend a lot of money to build the team. The Clippers' salary must be controlled below the salary cap. How can you win the championship like this? After Brand leaves, you will be successful in leading the team into the playoffs."

Therefore, the subprime mortgage crisis caused the Sterling family to lose a lot of money. The house prices rose to a certain level and could not rise. No one took over the market later, which eventually triggered the subprime mortgage crisis. Because of insurance, the real estate developers did not pay too much, but it was impossible to be unscathed.

Ye Feng said seriously: "Don't need to overpay the salary cap. As long as I build a team according to my plan, I will have confidence to make the Clippers stronger in a few years. In the game against the Hornets, I can catch up with the score difference with the substitute. A team does not have many high-paid stars. The important thing is to match it properly. Can you completely believe me? In the future, the Clippers must rebuild as I want!"

Alile was stunned and said, "Strange, why did you suddenly say such words? It seems that you want to leave the Lakers now."

Ye Feng took a sip of water, looked at no one around, and approached her and said softly: "I want to leave. Before entering the league, I didn't know if I could play basketball well. I was incompetent. If I wanted to win the championship, I had to join the strong team. I joined the Lakers to play with Kobe and wanted to easily get to the championship ring. At that time, I was able to find a job with the Lakers, even if it was an unsecured basic salary, I was already very content. But now I have learned to shoot and defend.

The end is getting better and better, and Adidas signed a sky-high contract with me. Advertisers value me and think I will become an All-Star in the future. Do I still have to look down on myself? I am not short of money anymore and have bright prospects. After this season, I will find a place to train for a summer vacation to improve my football skills. I firmly believe that I will become stronger next season. The current situation is that I want to rely on my own strength to win honors, and I don’t want to hold Kobe’s thighs anymore. Can you understand me?"

Ellie stared at Ye Feng and smiled, "When you are weak, you will want to seize power as the boss when you become stronger, you are such an ungrateful bastard. No wonder my father would like you so much. Are you really 19 years old?"

"Why, do you think I'm not good at doing this? Should I stay with the Lakers and strive to grab rebounds for Kobe?" Ye Feng had already thought it through. Even if he was not traded this year, he would only stay with the Lakers for two seasons at most.

Alile smiled and said, "You are doing this well, and it is very beneficial for us to go to the Clippers. What are you going to do next?"

Ye Feng coughed lightly, and waited for the waiter serving to leave, then said lightly: "Adidas signed a contract with me. The manager in charge said that he hoped I could challenge Durant publicly, defeat him and win the best rookie of the season with high profile. My match with Durant is the match between Adidas and Nike. But I think it's not interesting to challenge Durant now, Kobe is also from Nike. What happens if I compete with him next?"
